...Brazil wins 2-0. Looks like little things like experience, practice and nationaly devotion to the sport mean more than a computer program. Go figure.
The state bird of Utah is the seagul. SCO is based in Utah. In Finding Nemo, the cry of the seagulls was "Mine!" Makes me wonder... (apologies to anyone living in Utah).
One lawsuit to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
I have seen numerous badly infected machines "protected" by the free AVG. Used McAfee, Norton (you can get if free in the Google Pack http://pack.google.com/) and AntiVir on Windows. AntiVir has an annoying auto update - it has a popup that runs whenever there is an update, and it shuts down protection just to install definition updates. Very intrusive. I ended up choosing Avast! http://www.avast.com/ after trying it on Windows XP 64 bit. Good interface, great protection, no annoying popups - a small, semi-transparent popup in the lower right corner to let you know when an update has been installed, very unobtrusive. The only annoying thing with it is the alarm and warning when a virus is detected - easy to change the settings, but startling the first time.
Actually, that is incorrect. In Canada, we have to pay an additional premium in almost every province for coverage. No payment, no coverage. This premium in British Columbia is over $75 (for a single person), and is on top of our staggering tax system. The federal government has not covered everybody for a LONG time.
Also, in the US, you do not have people dying while waiting for necessary procedures. Here, we have waiting lists of months to years for life-saving surgeries. I know of at least one heart patient waiting for 10 months for open heart surgery, then getting bumped to a date several months later when the date came near.
Yes, in the US you pay out of pocket for health care. You also get what you pay for. Here, we pay and pay and pay, and get a beurocracy, red tape, waiting lists and frustration. Here, if you have the money and cannot or do not want to wait, you drive south to a clinic in the US for superior, faster care.
I believe the US may have one of the most expensive health care systems, but certainly not the least efficient. And I do know what I am talking about, I lived in the US all my life until 1997.
The article this refers to also contains several links for downloading IE for Mac. I guess Microsoft can't read its own post! "Download our product for which we are discontinuing support." Too funny!
